Chapter Seventy-Three: The Expedition
After Lin Ruhai left the imperial study, he looked up at the dark clouds that were gradually gathering in the sky, and let out a long sigh. 35xs
In the afternoon of the same day, Jia Daishan was summoned to the palace, and the emperor met him in the imperial study. Seeing that the emperor had retired all the people who were waiting in the imperial study, Jia Daishan knew that the emperor had something important to look for him.
"The emperor summoned Weichen here, but what is the difficulty? If it's useful to Weichen, you just have to speak. ”
"Dai Shan! I know your temperament, and I don't bend with you, I do have an important matter. I don't know if you've heard about the invasion of the Tatar army of 300,000? ”
"Wechen has heard about it, but he just wonders how the Tatars could come to invade the realm at this time."
"Sure enough, you're still more shrewd, and I, the whole cabinet, didn't find a problem, so you broke it in one word."
"What? What's wrong with this? ”
The emperor sighed and told Jia Daishan about the little prince of Tatar and Li Jin.
Jia Daishan frowned tightly after hearing this, "Your Majesty, the current situation is very unfavorable to us!" This General Li himself has no fault, if he is handed over, not to mention the generals of King Yan and the Northeast Army, even Weichen is unwilling. However, if they do not pay, once a big war starts, the people of the Northeast will suffer from the war, and General Li will be scolded by the people for such a crime! It's a hard word anyway! ”
"I don't know! Dai Shan said, what should we do now? ”
"Send the right people to the northeast, stabilize the situation, and find a way to make the Tatars retreat, after all, the prince of the people died at the hands of our generals, and it would be best if we could compensate for some financial settlement!"
"Would you like to go and lead the troops to the northeast?"
Jia Daishan didn't expect that the emperor would let him go to the Northeast, the emperor wanted him to recover, he had already known it in his heart, but he didn't expect that it would be at this time, he thought about it seriously and said: "The emperor, the emperor has an order, and Weichen should go into battle by himself, and he is not ambiguous, but to be honest, he is not sure that he will go to Weichen!" ”
"I will make you the generalissimo, and all the generals will be at your disposal, and I will give you a secret decree, and if my younger brother refuses to obey the order, you will give him the secret decree. Flash Dance. I have already let Liu Cheng go to the Northeast first, and when you arrive in the Northeast, he will be your lieutenant, and he will be responsible for protecting you closely. ”
"Then the emperor's words to Weichen, do you want to fight or want to make peace?"
"Daishan, as you said, it's best not to fight each other. It's best to spend some money to solve it. ”
"Okay, Wechen understands, Wechen will meet the opportunity to act when the time comes."
"Good! You go back to your house to clean up, and tomorrow the will will come down to your house, and I will go out of the city in three days. Flash."
After Jia Daishan returned to Rongguo Mansion, he ordered people to pack his luggage, and at the same time found the leader of the family to tell him the news that he was going to go to the northeast, and asked him to send a hundred people to stay to protect Rongguo Mansion, and the rest followed him on the expedition.
Jia Zheng originally planned to say goodbye to some friends in Beijing one by one before leaving for Shuzhong, but Jia Daishan asked him to pack his luggage overnight and have to leave early the next morning. Although Jia Zheng was puzzled, he was afraid of Jia Daishan's might, so he hurriedly packed his luggage.
At dawn the next day, Jia Zheng and Wang set off for Shuzhong in five carriages in the morning light.
In the early dynasty, the emperor proposed to let Jia Daishan lead troops to the northeast, and all the officials who opposed it were suppressed by the emperor's sentence "I have made up my mind". The will was quickly sent to Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Daishan was asked to go to the camp in the western suburbs immediately to order troops, and set out for the northeast tomorrow.
After Jia Daishan received the order, he took 400 generals to the camp in the western suburbs, but he did not have time to say goodbye to his family. Zhang's heart was careful, so he asked the kitchen to prepare some food to carry, and asked people to send it to Jia Daishan.
Jia Mu didn't expect that Jia Daishan was over fifty years old, and he had already handed over the military power, and he could still be reused by the emperor, and thought that after Jia Daishan went on the expedition, this Rongguo Mansion was her final say, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart.
As soon as Jia Daishan left the Rongguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall was surrounded by generals, and there was an extra lock on the gate and back door. Mother Jia knew that there was a big fuss, but the front and back doors were watched by the generals, and her people couldn't get out at all, and these generals turned a deaf ear to her crying and ignored it. At this time, Jia Mu realized that Jia Daishan had expected that she would ignore his grounding order after Jia Daishan left. So directly put her under house arrest, not only could she not get out of Rongxi Hall, but all the subordinates who served in Rongxi Hall couldn't get out either. Even the daily meals are delivered by the family.
Jia Mu's hatred for Jia Daishan at this time has reached the extreme, and she even hopes that Jia Daishan can die in the Northeast and never come back. She was placed under house arrest in a small world, and she hid at the head of the bed as a villain all day long, and had to stab a few times all day to vent her anger.
Jia Daishan rode to the camp in the western suburbs, gathered 200,000 troops, and after discussing with the generals, he ordered the vanguard battalion to set off overnight and go to the northeast battlefield first.
The next morning, the army was ready to go. Before the arrival of the hour, the emperor's Luan drove out of the city, and the soldiers saw the emperor get down from the Luan car and knelt neatly to salute.
The emperor glanced at the soldiers, stepped forward and helped Jia Daishan with both hands, Jia Daishan was wearing silver armor today, with a long knife at his waist, majestic. The emperor patted him twice on the shoulder, and said loudly: "All the soldiers, please get up!" ”
The emperor walked to the prepared offering table, Jia Daishan and others followed one after another, and everyone bowed to the military flag behind the offering table. Then the eunuchs gave each man a bowl of wine, and filled it with it, and the first of them sprinkled the first bowl of wine on the ground, and the second bowl of wine was dry.
After the sacrifice of the flag, the emperor and Jia Daishan walked to the front of the army together, and the emperor shouted to the soldiers: "The Tatars invade the territory, and the soldiers must stay away from their wives and children's parents and fight for the country of my great name." I hope that you will drive out the Tartars and triumph soon, when I will greet you in person, and I will wait to drink your celebratory wine! ”
All the soldiers shouted the slogan "Drive out the Tatars", and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.
Jia Daishan saluted the emperor and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please go back!" The minister is on his way. ”
The emperor took Jia Daishan's hand and said, "Be careful when you go here!" I'm waiting for you to triumph! ”
"The minister will live up to the emperor's trust!"
"Good! I don't have to say anything more! When you come back, I will invite you to drink the pear blossom white treasured in the palace. ”
"Hahaha! The emperor still remembers the minister's favorite! Then put away the wine and wait for the ministers to come back and accompany the emperor to have a good drink! ”
After finishing speaking, Jia Daishan bowed his hand to the emperor again, took the reins, turned over on his horse, and then shouted to the army: "Go to the battle!" ”
